The Cybertiger has escaped his Zoom meetings, yes! YES! The Cybertiger is out!
After over two years of virtual meetings, EFF's Cooper "Cybertiger" Quintin returned to the stage, live and in-person! Friends reunited, suspicions that all our coworkers were actually holograms were assuaged (for now), and the tacos were delicious. So, so, delicious.
After some much needed comradery, the competition was on! Five teams put their tech know-how to the test, all vying for the chance to win an EFF prize pack, the new championship trophies, and perhaps most importantly, the bragging rights.

Last year it was mugs, now it's rainbows!
What began as a spin-off of EFF Cyberlaw Trivia, Tech Trivia Night is now in its sixth year (they grow up so fast) of testing players' knowledge on the fascinating, obscure, and trivial minutiae of digital security, online rights, and Internet culture.
With the awards gleaming in all their rainbow glory, Quintin introduced the highly esteemed judges: Andrés Arrieta, Jon Callas, and Syd Young. As with any fair competition, judges could be bribed with Burger King, KFC, fungible tokens, and answer sheet doodles!

Doodles to bribe the judges.
After a challenging first three rounds, team "And In First" lived up to their name and gained the lead early. Team "Masters of Disaster" were hot on their heels, but ultimately finished just 2 points behind, with team "Anonymous Lorises" taking 3rd place.
The winning team, "And In First"!
In second place, "Masters of Disaster"!
In third place, "Anonymous Lorises"!
